Oktoberfest lagers are traditional German beers brewed specifically for the Oktoberfest celebration in Munich. These lagers are typically characterized by their rich, malty flavor, amber color, and moderate alcohol content, usually around 5-6% ABV. The brewing process often involves using Munich malt, which contributes to their smooth and slightly sweet taste. These lagers are a type of Marzen, a style that originated in the early 19th century. They are brewed in the spring and stored in cool cellars to be enjoyed during the fall festival. Oktoberfest lagers are often served in large, one-liter mugs, enhancing the festive atmosphere of the event.
